Alcaraz Reaches First Paris Masters Final, Will Face Shelton
World number three Carlos Alcaraz edged past Casper Ruud 6-4 6-4 on Saturday to reach his first Paris Masters final, where he will face Ben Shelton, who shook off a slow start to beat local favourite Luca Van Assche 5-7 6-3 6-4. The Spaniard, who saved two match points in the quarter-final, has now reached the final at seven of the nine ATP Masters 1000 events on the calendar. According to Reuters, Alcaraz started his first Paris semi-final with few unforced errors before getting sharper and more aggressive.
